It feels like a typical late-spring New Orleans weekend.
But on this day, only a week after learning of the daily printed newspaper's impending change, something's bubbling under the surface. Residents put on the jovial Cajun front for visitors, but before I can finish asking about the Times-Picayune reducing its print schedule to three days a week, they've already spit out a mouthful.
As she was nearing the end of her 14-hour day giving tours, the driver of a mule-drawn carriage told me she was upset about the newspaper's changes.
"That means if (the New Orleans Saints) win a ballgame, we can't read about it the next day."
I asked if she thought the newspaper's website, NOLA.com, could replace the four days the Times-Picayune will no longer print. She laughed.
"No. No, no, no. It's a joke. You can't find nothing on there. I get on there and look everywhere; don't know where nothin' is. It's not organized."
She thinks the most popular part of the website is the live-streaming cameras set up throughout the French Quarter (including within businesses) to give the online world real-time views of whatever is in front of the camera at any given time.
She warned ladies to be careful "at the corner of Canal and Decatur. You'll be on the Internet," she said with a grin.
I wonder, what is the Times-Picayune doing wrong with their online news product if live-streaming cameras are more popular with New Orleans residents than coverage of their beloved city?
The New Orleans paper has a higher reader penetration than any other major city in the country. More than 75 percent of the city's residents read the Times-Picayune regularly.
In 2010, 36 percent of residents here were without Internet access. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, the paper's circulation was double the rate of March 2012's numbers. Apparently, however, the Times-Picayune was still profitable to pay employee bonuses in 2010 and 2011.
With these facts taken into account, I question the intentions of the paper's owners. Are they trying to sharpen the Times-Picayune's digital presence, or is it more likely they'd rather increase profits at the expense of serving the city?
I ate lunch at NOLA Grocery and Po-boys, almost a literal hole in the wall in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. It's somewhere between a convenience store and a restaurant. The walls are covered in decade-old posters announcing local concerts. All except for one wall, which is plastered with Saints-related newspaper pages.
"This is our year!" proclaims one newspaper box ad from the early 1990s. The trusty Times-Picayune logo rests at the bottom of the ad.
I settled for a crawfish Po-boy and chatted with a big guy in a hairnet named Murray. When I asked for his last name, he said, "Just call me, Murraaaay!"
He's the owner of the place. "I'm the cook, dishwasher, janitor, you name it," he said.
Murray is a New Orleans native, "born, raised and I'll drown here," he told me.
He opened the grocery four years ago "because of a little lady named Katrina." Before the hurricane hit in 2005, he worked as a high-end sunglasses retailer. But when tourism weakened, so did his salary. After a few years, he found a new living in his own business.
"Just me and some buddies sat around a table taste-testing different recipes 'til we could say, 'Yep, that's what it tasted like as kids.' That's how I picked my recipes. They're family secrets."
At my mention of the Times-Picayune, he slapped the edge of a dish towel on top of the counter. The silliness in his personality disappeared behind an angry gaze.
"The city is irate," he said, staring into my eyes with the first hint of seriousness.
"How'm I gonna read 'bout my Saints on Monday morning? Huh? What will I do when I'm in the bathroom? What will I do when I need to pour out my crawfish on newspaper?" he asked with earnest frustration.
Murray scoffed at the paper's solution of online news four days a week. His complaints echo the carriage driver from the night before.
"Look, I'm not gonna get up in the morning and look at my computer. If they want us to use NOLA.com, they need to make it look like a newspaper with sections — metro, sports, whatever and one-line headlines — and take all that ad stuff off there. You can't find anything."
He told me of a friend who owns a print shop. "We're talking about doing an interim paper for the days the Times doesn't print. We'll distribute in boxes around the city. It's easy to find boxes and leave them outside places.
"If they're not going to print, it's time for somebody to step up and say, 'Screw the Times,'" he said with conviction.
Murray said blaming the economy was no excuse for changing the print schedules. If it's a matter of money, New Orleaneans will take care of it, he said.
"If they say they need 20,000, 25,000, 30,000 subscribers to keep printing, guess what? They'll get it. Same with our Saints. Hadn't ever had a sellout year, but then they threatened to take them away from us, and now we have the longest waiting list (for tickets) in the country," he told me. "Bring back my Times, man!"
Over the course of our conversation, Murray punctuated his rants with that phrase "Bring back the Times," even though the printing schedule isn't scheduled to change until September.
New Orleans is a city with plenty to mourn. Her bruises from Katrina and the BP oil spill are still healing, but the shining beacon that defended and protected her in the days after is now being reduced to more than half its printed power. And for what? A profit margin? How does Newhouse, the Times-Picayune's parent company, expect to turn a profit on an online product that few of the residents I spoke with trust?
Maybe the Saints coverage is at the top of their list of concerns, but why shouldn't it be? If The Anniston Star stopped publishing Saturday editions, it would have mamas, daddies and coaches countywide lining up to protest the lack of Friday night football coverage. Football is always regarded as a "religion" in the South, but really, it's a rallying point for the community. Whether times are green or sallow, that gathering place reinforces the traditions of a community and symbolizes hope for future success.
The death of a daily printed newspaper in New Orleans represents an alienation of thousands of readers who deserve better. While residents may mourn the loss of football coverage today, they'll also mourn the absence of a credible, reliable information source which keeps the city one so steeped in history and traditions bound together in their everlasting battle to rise above the water and survive.
The Times-Picayune is duty-bound to meet its community's needs. Instead, it is dismissing the duty of comforting the afflicted who are unable to log on and sync up four days a week. I would wager those residents are the ones who need the newspaper the most.

"I used a close-up single photo of my sons and then two photos on the back of the card. The card is simple and the colors are really beautiful and complimented the photo well. I am never disappointed with my holiday card order from Tiny Prints and this was another success."
"We generally never send out a Christmas card from the dog. But this year we had too. We got a Rhodesian Ridgeback over the summer and he has the funniest personality. So of course this year would be the first year we would send a card from the dogs! I picked this card because it seems to go well with the picture & I just like the style of it. I like that the paper quality is card stock. Overall it fits our family's style the best."
"This card and the print quality was outstanding. I'm an art director and spend a lot of time in the print world. For the product I received and the quality of the card, I don't have a vendor that could have touched this project for what I paid here. I'm always looking for something unique - this card and experience are what all others will be judged by. The only miss I have, and it's so minor, would be to find a slightly better glue for the envelopes or perhaps offer up a peel-n-seal option. Once moistened, it took a while to set and stay closed. But this little thing has absolutely nothing to do with the design and quality of the card itself. I'll be coming here for all my needs of this nature."
"this card was PERFECT for us this year as we took some pictures on a family trip while in Napa (not intending to use them for Christmas but ended up having to do so). The colors on this card matched so well with the clothing colors we were wearing in summertime we selected it! It's vibrant and fun - really great design that makes a card pop out against all the red and green cards that will probably be on display :-)"

Best Ways To Celebrate Hanukkah In Charlotte
The Festival of Lights celebrates the rededication of the Temple. Legend has it that when the Jews lit the menorah, there was only enough oil to last one day. The miracle of the story is that the little bit of oil they had, burned for eight days. Lighting a candle each night on the menorah commemorates this miracle, but there is so much more to this fun holiday in Charlotte. These are the five best ways to celebrate Hanukkah in the area.

M-312 - There are no wordsMon Apr 23, 2012
There are no words that describe the depth of my fury over Stephen Woodworth's private member's motion M-312, which would set up a Parliamentary committee to determine when human life begins.
When questioned, Woodworth acts oh-so-reasonable, talking about rational discussion and a 400 year old definition of human being that needs to be updated. But he refuses to answer why he thinks we need to have this debate, or what laws need to be changed as a result of the outcome of this exercise.
That's because the logical extension of opening up the thin edge of this wedge issue is the scary freakiness that has become the reproductive rights debate south of the border.
I see a lot of my friends post links to news about the bills that are passing in state legislatures. We can't afford to be smug in Canada, because the same folks that fund and organize successful anti-choice political action campaigns in the US are busily working to erode the gains we have made here.
Not that the gains we've made are equally enjoyed by all Canadian women. Just ask anyone living in PEI or New Brunswick or in First Nations communities or in any remote area.
So we can't afford to take our rights for granted. Today bloggers from all over are writing about M-312 - Dr Dawg for example, and the fine folks at Dammit Janet are tracking the issue and responses. There is a great Collection of resources on the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada's website, including petitions (online and hard copy), letters to MPs, facts and arguments and other tools.
And then there's my favourite response, the Radical Handmaids. Using Margaret Atwood's novel as an illustration of where we might be heading, the Handmaids will be holding an action on Parliament Hill this Wednesday at noon. Wear red and show up at the Eternal Flame.
Women have fought so hard for what little equality we enjoy.
It's time to get angry and let MPs know we won't stand idly by while our rights are debated like so many angels on the head of a pin.

Hollow, shallow wordsThu Oct 20, 2011
I have watched this video a couple of times now, with Conservative members of parliament participating in the It Gets Better Campaign. And the more I watch it, the more upset I get. What hollow, shallow words from members of a government that has done absolutely nothing to make it better for LTBTQ kids, and in fact have passed numerous policies and perpetuated attitudes that contribute to our society's rampant homophobia and transphobia. They want to tell kids who are suffering from homophobic and transphobic bullying that it gets better? How they heck would they know?
Show me a video of a Conservative Member of Parliament recounting their own experience with bullying, with coming out as a teen - or, say, with being deeply closted and not able to come out at all for fear that it might negatively affect your political career. Let me see a video of a Conservative Member of Parliament who struggled with being so tormented by their peers that they considered ending it all just to stop the pain. Let me see a video with a Conservative Member of Parliament speaking from their own heart and soul and not the same words off the same script that all the other Conservatives in the video are reading.
Or better yet, don't show me a video at all, Conservative caucus members. Show me some real action to make it better. Support NDP MP Randall Garrison's private member's bill on trans rights. Or heck, have the courage to take it on as your government's contribution to strengthening our human rights legislation to cover gender identity and gender expression. And make sure it passes the Senate this time. Put real funding into mental health supports. Restore funding for the Court Challenges program and Pride celebrations. Forget the misguided notion of ending the long gun registry. Support the introduction of relevant sex ed curricula and Rainbow Alliance groups in your community's schools. Sever your ties with the Religious Right. Fight homophobia and transphobia by speaking out openly and honestly about it, and by refusing to tolerate it in your own caucus and your own party.
If you really want to put an end to bullying, Conservative Caucus members, then stop doing it in the House of Commons. End the childish heckling during Question Period. Treat committee witnesses and advocates who hold positions different than yours with respect and try listening to them for a change, instead of pretending you're on an episode of Law and Order and you're the prosecutor that's going to nail them. Think about what you're doing and what kind of message your behaviour sends to young people about what is acceptable.
Now I don't want to rush to a conclusion that the CPC MPs' video is a cyncial attempt to capitalize on a tragic event that has captured a lot of public attention. More than likely these MPs really think they are participating in the campaign in a meaningful way. I can't be angry about what are likely good intentions. I'm just profoundly disappointed that this is the best they can come up with. Bullied kids deserve better.

Politicos say: No funds for HubTue May 24, 2011
So the Hintonburg Hub partners sat down with the local politicos last Friday - including the Mayor and Muncipal Affairs minister Bob Chiarelli - and the essense of the meeting was this: there's no money to help the partners secure the land at Bethany House. And no real desire to work to find some.
According to the Mayor, the $14 million set aside for housing initiatives is spoken for. Advancing a loan from the city to purchase is a non starter as the city is carrying other properties and is not prepared to add more costs here.
So much for that.
Minister Chiarelli suggested the partners apply for a "low" interest loan from Infrastructure Ontario. Unfortunately the carrying costs on these loans wouldn't work for the group - what they need right now is a grant to purchase the land, then the partners would bring equity to the table and begin fundraising for development costs.
Both politicians bemoaned the fact that the feds are not coming to the table with housing money. Apparently it was suggested that Paul Dewar could make a pitch to John Baird, the proverbial Hail-Mary pass.
Ah, the buck passing. Always a sign the political will to make things happen is just not there. If the feds kicked in some cash, would money suddenly appear in provincial and city coffers?
It seemed to me like a win-win situation - action on improving the afforable housing stock, providing front-line health care and social services and filling a gap identified by the community in extensive consultations. What's not to like? Plus it addresses concerns about rampant high-end condo development in Kitchissippi neighbourhoods, not to mention fears about big-box Shoppers Drug Mart sniffing around the site.
What's most frustrating is that this kind of opportunity doesn't come along too often - and not necessarily in conjunction with budgetary cycles or government funding windows. THe Hub initiative actually started back when the Feds were offering infrastructure money during the economic downturn. The partners put together a quick proposal and started looking for space. That didn't pan out, but it was too good an idea to drop. Now this space comes along, and it's really ideal for the kind of development the partners and the community want to see. And the government response is.... underwhelming.
Time to write your representatives, folks. Tell them Hintonburg, Mechanicsville, Wellington West, Champlain Park and other neighbourhoods want and need the services the Hub will offer, that affordable housing will help us keep the mix of incomes needed to ensure a diverse, healthy community. Tell them we're looking for creativity and problem-solving and we expect more from them.
And if that doesn't work... anyone got a spare $4 million?

Convent shenanigans: UPDATEFri May 20, 2011
The proposal to revive the driveway cut-through of the Byron Pathway to the Ashcroft convent development has been removed from Tuesday's Planning Committee agenda. Peter Hume wrote a rather firm letter to the Hampton Iona Community Group, which states that "The November 2010 Council approved direction 'That access for development not be permitted across the Byron Linear Strip and adjacent Parkland' is in full force and effect. There are no plans for the Planning Committee to consider this report at some future date. The matter is now considered closed and as stated earlier the November 2010 Council direction is and remains in full force and effect."
The committee will still need to determine whether there will be an access via Shannon street or elsewhere.
What a bizarre turn of events. While it's gratifying that Hobbs has listened to the community and withdrawn the proposal, it's a little puzzling that she brought forward this initiative in the first place - despite all of the work that had been done by the previous council (much of it during the election period). Her communications to residents, some of which allegedly misrepresent the actions of the previous councillor, clearly attempt to pit neighbours against neighbours. It's a disturbing kind of politics, particularly unfortunate given her good work this week on the Devonshire playground file.
There won't be a rally on Shannon Street tomorrow, but the sign campaign and fundraising for the OMB appeal continues. Check out these tweets from @byronpath
I think the next battle needs to be fundraising for OMB. The appellants need to have case together for June 18. Reduce density & exits
Come to Byron path across from Kensington tomorrow 11-5 and we can try to sort out next steps. Bring cheques for OMB folks. ;)

More Convent shenanigansWed May 18, 2011
It seems that access through Byron Linear Park to the Ashcroft development at the former Soeurs de la Visitation convent is back on the table, contary to what the community had been led to believe.
Planning committee meets on May 24 to consider a recommendation that Council allow the cut-through.
This has taken most community associations by surprise. According to an email sent out by the Wellington Village Community Association president, Jason Thompson, Councillor Hobbs "let it slip" at last night's AGM that the issue is on the committee's agenda, and "this fact had not been included in the emails she sent out on the issue over the past week."
The WVCA president goes on to say that despite the Planning Department report's claim that residents in the area had been notified by mail, he had not yet found anyone who had received notification.
Community Association representatives met with Councillor Hobbs this morning and have given her a list of questions for the Planning Department to answer in writing (hopefully before Tuesday's meeting!).
From the WCVA email: What the meeting this morning made obvious was that Hobbs is totally committed to supporting the cut through Byron Park. She actually contends that this option will affect less of the park, because the Shannon route is longer, and continues to insist that all new city roads must be 16.5 metres (54 ft) wide, which would mean a Shannon which is wider than Richmond Road or Byron, let alone the other smaller streets in the area.
Here's the Hampton Iona Community Group's perspective on the issue, and the Councillor's handling of it.
And from another email circulated by Amos Hayes:
The only alternative on the staff's table is access through Shannon Ave. (currently a narrow street which dead-ends at the property.) This would have a significant impact on residents there. Even though it has been confirmed that the southern building parking will have underground access to Richmond Rd., the city staff and the councillor are suggesting that if there is no southern access, the developer will cut down all the mature trees on the eastern side of the property (Nun's Walk) rather than slightly adjusting building footprints to accommodate emergency/service vehicle surface access from Richmond Rd. You may recall that in November the committee was assured that all service vehicles would use the Richmond Rd. entrance either way, and that the Leighton Terrace entrance was to be the second entrance required for emergency vehicles only.
The community has been railroaded into a terrible either/or decision which pits neighbour against neighbour, all to reward a developer with an overly dense site plan. This is despicable and an affront to all communities. Please take some time to make yourself heard. Please also consider visiting http://hamptoniona.ca and donating time or money to the community appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board."
I'm not quite sure what to say. Just when you thought the Ashcroft business couldn't get any worse... it does.
Comments on the recommendation may be sent to the planning committee via:
Caitlin Salter MacDonald
(613) 580-2424 x. 28136
Also let her know if you'd like to be on the list to speak at Tuesday's meeting. It starts at 9:30am and will be in the Champlain Room.
UPDATE: Here's a Facebook group for a sign campaign that is underway. There's also plenty of discussion on Katherine Hobbs' Facebook page

Pros – Professional work atmosphere. Amount of team support given on a project is pretty good. If you are in the "club" you could get to work all over the world.
Cons – So far the employees are professional and overall intelligent. However the expectations are very high and often times unrealistic, leading to large amounts of stressful situations. Advancement for younger employees is often times controlled by managers with not much experience in managing people. When you first start working they will start determining the highest you will ever move up in the company, which makes it hard to break some preconceived mold they put you in.
Advice to Senior Management – Never stop investing in your employees, and always give raises, which often times are the only way to know for sure if you are Doing a good job or not. Be more open with your teams and less of an elite attitude toward others would go a long way toward relationship building.

Exactly right. Morsi won the election after democratic principles but he was not prepared to govern after democratic principles. He tolerated violence against opposition.
Him and the MB were gradually changing the country in such ways that a secularist opposition would permanently been out of power in an Islamist state.

The Fourth Quarter 2010 issue of Computerized Investing ran our latest comparison of online portfolio tracking and management services. These allow investors to keep tabs on their portfolios and track the day-to-day movement of their investments, as well as important news and company events. However, online portfolio trackers typically are not as sophisticated as their software brethren.
With more and more people utilizing advanced mobile devices—smartphones, tablets, etc.—the ability to track investment portfolios via these devices has also become a consideration. One such app, designed specifically for the Apple iPad, is StockWatch (there is also an iPhone/iPod Touch version). This app, which costs $5.99, allows you to track your portfolio as well as access streaming delayed stock and ETF quotes and company news items.
Watchlists & Portfolios
With StockWatch you can set up watchlists of symbols you want to track or portfolios of securities you actually own. StockWatch can track any valid Yahoo! Finance (USA) symbol and retrieve price data for it.
There is only one watchlist in StockWatch, but you can track as many symbols as you want. The watchlist window is divided into two columns: The left side is the list of symbols in the watchlist, along with the last trade price and either the percentage or dollar change for the day, which you can toggle between by tapping; the right side of the watchlist screen is symbol-specific information. At the top of the right-hand column you will see the last trade price, time, and dollar and percentage changes for the selected symbol in the watchlist. Below that is a broader collection of symbol-specific data, including previous close, open, day and 52-week range, bid/ask, volume, market cap, price-earnings ratio and dividend yield. There is also a basic chart, which you can tap on to view in fullscreen. You can choose between a line, bar or candlestick chart and view data spanning from the last trading day to as far back as 1976 (when available). I was a little disappointed that the app only offers Bollinger bands and parabolic SAR for technical analysis. Last, you can also click on links to news items related to the selected symbol. You can either read the article from within the StockWatch app, open it with the Safari browser, or e-mail the article.
With StockWatch you can manage an unlimited number of portfolios, each with an unlimited number of symbols. Additionally, you can have an unlimited number of purchase lots for a single symbol. The portfolio view of StockWatch is very similar to the watchlist view, except that at the left side of the view you can see the overall performance of all your portfolios as well as the default portfolio you have specified.
StockWatch is a quality iPad app. It is nice to be able to open the app and have it automatically update the performance of your portfolios and access related news items quickly and easily. While it would be nice if, in the future, you were able to specify price alert targets and receive on-screen or e-mail alerts when these targets were reached, I would still strongly recommend this app to anyone with an iPad.
Sorry, you cannot add comments while on a mobile device or while printing.

MCMap Live - Simple, Fast Minecraft Mapping for Mac OS X
Posted 12 October 2010 - 01:43 AM
About MCMap Live
MCMap Live is a Minecraft mapper, like Cartograph for Mac OS X. It is a wrapper for mcmap, Zahl's fantastic and fast isometric Minecraft map renderer. What makes MCMap Live special is that it renders maps in pieces and lets you view them right away in an intuitive, minimalist interface. You can scroll and zoom all around your world and as quick as mcmap can render the chunks, you will see them. Instant gratification!
The other thing that makes MCMap Live special is that it's written in Objective-C just for Mac OS X, so unlike so many Windows-only tools, this one is Mac-only! Sorry users of other platforms, but I chose the APIs for this project because I wanted to learn them.
Download MCMap Live and run it. From the file menu you can select worlds from single-player minecraft on your system or any world folder, including server worlds. Drag or two-finger scroll the map to move around. Scroll/Pinch to zoom in and out (or use the a and z keys if you have no scroll wheel). Use the menus to change lighting, etc. Play around, I'm sure you'll figure it out!
Download MCMap Live v1.5.1 (Voikya update)
Download MCMap Live v1.4.1 (Works for 1.0, use for mcregion worlds)
Download MCMap Live v1.3.3 (old 'n' busted version 1.3.3, use for old world format)
System Requirements
MCMap Live requires any Mac with OS X 10.5 or higher (Intel only). For decent performance, you'll want about 1GB of free RAM.
Special Thanks To
Zahl, for making mcmap. Without it, MCMap Live would be a fancy interface without a map renderer.
Where can I get MCMap Live for Windows?
MCMap Live is Mac-only, sorry. Pup05's Minemapper is a Windows program similar to MCMap Live. Zahl's mcmap, the map renderer behind MCMap Live and Minemapper, is fully crossplatform and will run on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
How do I make MCMap Live zoom in and out?
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, scroll the wheel. If you have a Macbook, use the multitouch pinch gesture to zoom in and out. Alternatively press Cmd + and Cmd - to zoom in and out.
How do I make MCMap Live show player locations?
The show player location feature was never implemented. The menu item was removed in version 1.3.3.
How do I use MCMap Live? / Is there a tutorial?
I'm really surprised that this is such a common question. To use MCMap Live, download the program and run it. Select a world from the file menu. Look through all the menu options to see what you can do.

Posted 12 October 2010 - 01:55 AM
I chose to do things this way simply because I wanted to learn Objective C and Cocoa. I thought this would be a fun project in which to do so. If you want a port for your platform, I suggest you do the same! (only with, like, Qt or WPF).
Posted 12 October 2010 - 03:13 AM
Thanks a bunch will be testing it now and will give feedback when I play with it for a bit ^^.

Posted 12 October 2010 - 04:27 AM
First I would rather have the scroll option to not be inverted. I can't stand to want to scroll in and rather it scrolls out. A final note would be on the saving of the images. Im using .bmp is the only format that needs to be used? If not then I would rather have it in .png, however it wont kill me if it stays as a .bmp. Also im not sure if you said this aswell, but if you would to just " Save Current Area ", then it would render the whole map rather then just what you are looking at. Am I correct on this?
Other then those you sir are wonderful for making a Mac native program :3. Btw iv always been interested in learning on to program applications on the Mac, so could you point me in the right direction on how to start learning? Thanks .
Posted 12 October 2010 - 04:50 AM
I export to bmp because that's what mcmap outputs. I can either render to scratch and use Cocoa to convert to png or wait for mcmap to support it directly (which would eliminate those black lines through water as well). Either way, it's on the list.
When you say "Save Current Area", it renders a diamond-shaped area containing at least what you're looking at and probably a bit more. On smaller maps, this might end up being the whole world because the extra room that gets rendered can be quite a bit. On huge maps you'll notice a very big difference between Save Current Area and Save World.
I started making this program by editing the sample projects that came with XCode. But it's unrealistic to expect you to be able to just look at them and go. Before I even started, I had 6 years of object-oriented programming under my belt, and a good handle on OpenGL. This is probably my 5th attempt to pick up cocoa. The last 4 times I just wasn't ready. My advice is to just start learning and programming, C++ on a console, Python, Java, whatever, and no matter what you do, it'll hone your generic "programming ability" until one day you have enough experience to look at an example project, sit down with the documentation and just go.
Posted 12 October 2010 - 05:23 AM
Ah alright, that makes abit more sense why the scroll is like that. I mean I can handle it inverted abit, but im more used to just scrolling normally. As for the Save Current Area feature, that also makes sense. I was using actually a somewhat small map, and so im guessing on SMP maps then, the feature would work alot better :/.
Still I love this and will be keeping an eye on it for future updates and stuff .
Posted 12 October 2010 - 07:12 AM
- Better performance while scrolling and zooming
- Multi-touch gestures: pinch to zoom and two-finger scroll
I'm afraid that the multitouch stuff will break compatibility with 10.5 however. Can someone please check? Then I can update the OP.
Posted 12 October 2010 - 11:14 AM
EDIT: I can't vouch for the multitouch working on 10.5 (since I'm not using a Macbook) but everything else definitely does.
Posted 12 October 2010 - 11:00 PM
Posted 12 October 2010 - 11:11 PM
New version in the op: http://dl.dropbox.co...Map-Live-a4.zip
New features:
Multitouch controls, flipped scroll wheel behavior for mice only
Keyboard shortcuts
Greatly reduced RAM usage (half or less when zoomed out)
More responsive scroll and zoom
Flush cache option
Flush cache lets you dump all the textures in memory and scratch and rerender fully. If things get sluggish while zoomed out, that should fix it. It also lets you quickly rerender the view as you play, if you have both MCMap Live and Minecraft open.
Before adding any more features (except multitouch) I've been concentrating on getting it more stable and using less memory. I'm almost there. It already loads low-res textures when zoomed out but I need to get it to automatically dump the high-res textures from before that it doesn't need anymore. Manually flushing the cache does this but then you have to wait for a re-render and it's not something the user should have to do!
Posted 13 October 2010 - 12:13 AM
Since like, none of the other applications work. >:C
But again, thanks!
Posted 13 October 2010 - 12:49 AM
Thanks so much for making this for Mac!
Posted 13 October 2010 - 02:26 AM
Also, multi-touch seems to work fine (very useful, in fact)
Posted 13 October 2010 - 02:37 AM
GoingIncognito said:

Because the images are stored without an alpha channel, so I have to mask them by taking everything that's pure black and say that's transparent. At night, sometimes the darker areas are dark enough to hit pure black and then...
The png feature in mcmap will fix both that and the black lines in the water.
Posted 13 October 2010 - 05:15 AM
I have a feature request for you, though I realize you might not get to it for a while: can you implement dropping labeled placemarks on the map? They'd probably just be 2D, of course, but it would be really amazing to be able to label all your bases and castles and mines and whatever else so you can more easily find your way around. The rendering would be pretty simple; the tricky part is storing them persistently -- obviously you wouldn't be able to write them into the map itself, and you probably don't want to pollute the save folder either. I figure you could hash the path to the save folder, generate a UUID that way, and store serialized dictionaries as plist files in your Application Support folder.
What do you say?

What You Should Know About Dodd-Frank's Whistleblower Provisions
While most reputable companies realize that effective compliance and risk management programs, such as whistleblower hotlines, are good for business, it is surprising how many are unprepared for the additional scrutiny levied by the Dodd-Frank Act, which expands the whistleblower provisions found in 2002's Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As the SEC continues to implement the various enforcement components of Dodd-Frank, effective, integrated internal whistleblower programs, such as anonymous hotlines, will become a necessity. So what do you need to know now? Join Luis Ramos, Chief Executive Officer at The Network, as he discusses the most important aspects required for successful whistleblower programs.

Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge.
Electrolytes affect the amount of water in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your muscle function, and other important processes. You lose electrolytes when you sweat. You must replace them by drinking fluids.
Common electrolytes include:
Electrolytes can be acids, bases, and salts.
They can be measured by laboratory studies of the blood in different ways. Each electrolyte can be ordered as a separate test, such as:
Note: Serum is the part of blood that doesn't contain cells.
Sodium, potassium, and chloride can also be ordered as part of an electrolyte panel or a basic metabolic panel.
The electrolytes - urine test measures electrolytes in urine. It usually measures the levels of calcium, chloride, potassium, or sodium.

He better prove his worth
This ranking is from the Bleachers Report:
1. PG ... Kyrie Irvin / Ty Lawson
2. SG ... Eric Gordon
As was the case in LA, Gordon will have an opportunity to strut
his stuff, with an exciting young squad in New Orleans.
3. SF ... Nicolas Batum
4. PF ... Demarcus Cousins
5. Cen ... Greg Monroe
The entire article can be found in nba Bleachers report:
He better prove his worth
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name.
Won't Cousins be primarily a C now tht they have Robinson?
Seems pretty silly for Cousins to be a breakout pf to me. Especially with Davis entering the league lol
I think this is going to be a huge year for Gordon. If he can stay healthy, I expect him to have his best year yet.

This is a game that I have wanted to try for a long time, and finally, I got around to it. I have always had an interest in Greek mythology, and while it has influenced just about every form of fantasy since then, there are very few games that claim to draw directly on it. This was one of them.
0:00 - A succession of logos: THQ, Iron Lore, nVidia… Nothing I have not seen countless times before.
0:01 - The intro begins, a voiceover about the exile of the Titans, while showing a statue of Zeus
0:02 - A monstrosity emerges near the statue, presumably one of the previously mentioned Titans, although for some reason it seems to be something with snakes for hair, and a serpentine rear end… I would think that they were trying to go for a medusa, except that none of the soldiers hanging around the statue (Guarding it? Just trying to stay warm for the night? Playing scrabble?) get turned to stone, instead they engage in a straight-forward melee fight.

Commission interest emerges
Date: July 29, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
With more than eight months to go until the town's March 2010 election, both current commissioners and potential candidates are already making moves to either secure their seats or consider a run for one.
Last week, former Planning and Zoning Board Chairman David Brenner confirmed he is considering running for one of the four commission seats that are either up for re-election or will become available due to term limits.
"I have been talking to friends of mine about whether or not they think it makes any sense for me to think about running for a commission seat," Brenner said. "I will make up my mind by September and take the summer to contemplate the possibility."
Brenner's news comes on the heels of three commissioners who have already begun the process to secure their seats for another two-year term.
Longboat Key District 3 Commissioner Peter O'Connor has already submitted his election paperwork at Town Hall and officially been certified as a candidate for his final two-year term.
Town Clerk Trish Granger also confirmed At-large Commissioner Hal Lenobel and Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann, District 5, have picked up paperwork at Town Hall for additional two-year terms.
If both become certified and are re-elected, it will be Lenobel's second two-year term and Siekmann's final term.
Commissioners term limit out after three two-year terms, which means Mayor Lee Rothenberg's District 1 seat is also up for grabs this March.
Granger also said that an inquiry was made to her office to see if candidates could run together on one ticket.
"A potential candidate had asked if a group of four candidates could form a political action committee to run their campaign, requiring only one financing report for the four candidates," Granger said.
After looking into the matter, though, Granger said that the town charter and the state's election office would not allow such activity.
"It's been confirmed that each candidate must file individual reports," said Granger, who said a committee could still form to support a candidate and file its own reports to Town Hall. "They can't run as a party ticket, though, because it's a non-partisan election."
Granger said no one else has made an inquiry at Town Hall to run for any of the seats coming available next year.
Meanwhile, former Commissioner Randall Clair said he has no plans to attempt to re-join the commission after losing his at-large seat to incumbent Gene Jaleski in March.
"I have no interest in running for office again," Clair said.
But, at least one other Key resident is contemplating a campaign run for the second year in a row.
Charles Nechtem is considering picking up paperwork for one of the four seats.
"I live here full-time, enjoy the people and feel like I can bring different groups together," Nechtem said.
Candidates have until noon Thursday, Dec. 21 to become certified for one of the four eligible commission seats.
Any interested candidates can contact Granger at 316-1997.

334 Royal St Ste B, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7013029.955350 -90.067121
Mon-Sun: 7am-5pm
Neighborhoods: French Quarter, French Quarter - CBD
Why wait in line?? – We ended up at Cafe Beignet by mistake, and an excellent mistake it was! A wonderful intimate place with Dixieland music, great coffee, excellent beignets and a beautiful courtyard. Why wait for an hour in line at Cafe du Monde when you can have a better experience at Cafe Beignet!
Amazing Beignets – In my opinion, the beignets here are better than those at Cafe du Monde (which I love). It's also a very charming place tucked into a long narrow brick alley-like space on Royal Street.
hmm – Ok, i'm going to sound uptight here: This place was pretty dirty, and the staff(the girl at the register and another girl) were speaking loudly about fist fighting strategies. Girl #1 thought fighting dirty was OK, "I hate it when people say not to fight dirty, F@#$%, if i'm fightin' someone, i'm f@#$% TRYING to hurt them, so who f@#$% cares!" and so on, and so forth. It was just kinda surreal. The beignet's and coffee were fine, we did'nt go back here at any other point of our vacation, though.
Cute beignet place – We attempted to go to Cafe du Monde but could never get in due to very long lines but we discovered this little gem. This is a cute little place with a good amount of seating. The coffee and beignets were great. The only thing I didn't like is the powered sugar all over the small tables where you sit and eat. They should have little wipes to easily clean the tables. When you walk in, you have to find a table and then stand in line to order...self serve. Since it's so busy, you pretty much have to wipe down your own table and the napkins just don't cut it. This is a cute place with good beignets and good breakfast items. I recommend it. It's a good place to eat a fast breakfast and then go and enjoy the town.
what happened? – someone changed the receipe...smaller, doughier beignets...not much flavor...used to be the best in town....more than a hurricane happened here....

Court Condones 2009 Car Search That Turned Up Lots of Cocaine
Published: January 2, 2013
Lenny Ortiz's good fortune in Maryland's federal court went south on Dec. 20, when he pleaded guilty to possessing with intent to distribute cocaine in 2009, after he'd been pulled over for speeding on I-95 near White Marsh and a search of his vehicle turned up six kilograms in a hidden compartment.
Ortiz had previously won a court argument contesting that the cops had unconstitutionally searched the vehicle, because—even though they suspected Ortiz was transporting drugs based on a tip, and even though he displayed several tell-tale signs of drug-carrying culpability, and even though Ortiz had given them consent to do the search—they'd pried up the backseat to look for a concealed vehicle-identification number. There, they found the coke-containing compartment, but U.S. District Court Judge Frederick Motz ruled that Ortiz "had no reason to anticipate" such an invasive search as a result of his consent, and so said the cops had gone too far and the six kilos of evidence would have to be chucked out.
On appeal, though, in an opinion written by Fourth Circuit Appellate Court Judge Paul Niemeyer, Motz's reasoning was faulted, saying the cops had probable cause to believe there were drugs in the vehicle and that their search was conducted within the scope of Ortiz's consent.
Ortiz's sentencing is scheduled for March 1.

Centura Health Press Releases
|Print This Page Email this page to a Friend
2013 Press Releases
(Great Bend, KS) - The Rev. Angela DeVore has a long history of caring for other people who need a helping hand, which ultimately led to her answering a call to the ministry.
DeVore is the new chaplain at St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center and is sharing Pastoral Care responsibilities with John Grummon, long-time St. Rose chaplain.
"I have worked with the Boy Scouts and Head Start, as well as with the Kansas State extension service," she said. "After all of these social-service positions, I wanted to follow my calling to serve in this way.
"When I look back over the years," DeVore continued, "I see how God has prepared me for this new ministry. In addition, I grew up in Beloit and understand the needs of people in the smaller communities of Kansas."
DeVore will focus her service on long-term bereavement and grief support, while counseling adults and children as they mourn the loss of a loved one.
"There is a uniqueness to hospice and bereavement care," DeVore commented. "With all my experiences in caring for young people and others, this is a special opportunity to provide bereavement care to people of all ages in the community."
DeVore, who is ordained and board certified, earned a master's of divinity from Central Baptist Theological Seminary at Shawnee in 2008. She also completed her master's in emerging church in 2010 at the same seminary, was ordained in 2009 by Christian Church in Kansas (DOC) and board certified in 2010.
In addition to her service to St. Rose, DeVore is associate pastor of First Christian Church (DOC) at K-96 and Broadway. Her husband, Ron, is pastor of First Christian Church (DOC) in Lyons; they have three children, ages 17, 19 and 20.
"Angela brings a rare combination of compassion, clinical chaplain skills and a broad range of experience to our Pastoral Care team," Grummon said. "She relates well and communicates effectively with all our individuals and families who are coping with grief. I am very thankful she is joining our home health and hospice ministry."
St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center (St. Rose ASC) serves a population of 60,000. St. Rose ASC is located in Great Bend, Kansas. St. Rose ASC's state-of-the-art technologies include urgent care clinic, same-day surgery, cancer care, physician clinics, imaging (x-ray), laboratory services, outpatient therapies (including physical, occupational, speech and respiratory), home health and hospice, and the sleep disorder center. Affiliated with Centura Health, St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center is committed to serving the health care needs of our communities.

Shaquille O'Neal dominated the Staples Center court one more time Tuesday, in a halftime jersey retirement ceremony that perfectly mirrored his Lakers career.
It was booming. It was poignant. It was funny. It had thousands of fans chanting and cheering.
And Kobe Bryant appeared to blow him off.
"Can ... you … dig … it?" asked O'Neal, repeating his trademark championship chant for a sellout Staples Center crowd that screamed its affirmation.
Bryant apparently couldn't, as he chose to record only a brief video tribute that ran on the scoreboard at the start of the ceremony. It was as if he were in Russia instead of just 45 steps away in the locker room during halftime of the Lakers' eventual 101-81 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
"I would like to have been out there but I couldn't do it, this was just too big of a game," Bryant said afterward. "I had to stay back here [in the locker room] stretching and getting ready for the second half.
Bryant laughed and added, "I appreciate you guys trying to start some stuff for old times' sake."
Bryant briefly hugged O'Neal in the privacy of the tunnel at the halftime break before O'Neal took the court, but then the men parted ways, just as they did nine years ago to mark the end of one of the Lakers' championship eras.
It's a shame Bryant couldn't have later walked those 45 steps and publicly congratulated O'Neal in front of the world, if only for a moment before returning to work. It was a long halftime. Together, as the best duo in basketball history, they won a lot of games. If Bryant is going to end his career as the face of the Lakers, then he needed to publicly, if briefly, represent them in this important connection with their history.
As if countering Bryant's absence, O'Neal did not mention Bryant or any of his other teammates in his speech, instead thanking Kobe during a video later released on Twitter.
Said Bryant in his recording: "Amazing how time flies. I've got to say congratulations to you, the most gifted physical specimen I've ever seen play this game."
Said O'Neal in his tweet: "This is what I want everyone to kno. Thank u very much, especially you Kobe."
Too bad they couldn't publicly say these things to each other, just once, just to allow their combined legacy to continue into Lakers history without the discomfort that once soiled it. Their actions spoke louder than those distant words. The feud that probably cost the team two or three more titles just will not disappear, returning to inject a bit of wincing into an otherwise compelling night.
Jeanie Buss was there, making her first appearance in front of Lakers fans since the death of her father, expressing gratitude to O'Neal while sounding very much like the team's new leader.
"From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for always entertaining us with your talent, your sense of humor, and most of all, the winning," she said.
Phil Jackson was there, making his first appearance in front of Lakers fans since leaving the team last year, and you knew what was coming next.
"We want Phil!" chanted fans, again and again, even during the middle of O'Neal's speech, causing O'Neal to back meekly away from the microphone and chuckle.
"Fun, fun, fun ... did we have fun," Jackson said. "I'm here to reiterate how much fun we had … the wins, the title, the great times."
Finally, O'Neal spoke, leading the crowd in cheers and laughs and memories, thanking the fans for never quitting on him.
"I look in the stands, I see the certainty and calm on your faces, I knew we had it in the bag," O'Neal said to giant roars.
